Haiku and the Way We Think


A methodology of HAIKU teaches us the importance of the crush of two matters. In HAIKU, KIGO or a seasonal phrase crushes with the other part of the poem. For example, when you pick up a seasonal phrase with 5 syllables or make up a 5-syllable phrase with a seasonal phrase in it, you can compose a HAIKU with another 12-syllable phrase. If the latter phrase is just a description of the seasonal phrase, that does not make a poem. The two neither should be too much in conformity with each other nor should be too much in inconformity with each other. The crush of two matters is the nursery of a poem.
We might prefer that kind of a crush even when we compose a prose. A concept may crush with a sentence structure. If the sentence is just a description of the concept, it does not produce the logical crush. The logical crush is the nursery of a brandnew theory or of the new paradigm. Does that just seem a leap in argument?
